Hi all, I have been lurking around for a week or so and I am now ready to begin my layout... I have chosen my track plan, built my table ( a 4x8 framed plywood base covered w/ 1/2" homosote), an now I would like to know where I should go next....
I don't like that grass mat you can buy, but I am unsure of what to cover/paint the homosote with to get a "realistic" feel. I will be building some mountainous areas with plaster/chicken wire/cardboard, and I am going for a more rural/industrial setting ( lumber industry/ coal etc...)
Obviously I am new to full time model RR, when I was a kid I had a 4x6 layout, but it was only out near xmas, now that I own my own house I want to get into it more as a full time hobby. I am starting with 4x8, but I know it will grow!! Thanks in advance, Matt Abington, Pa
